Performance produced by the Comitato Non Dimenticarmi, in memory of the victims of the tension strategy, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the massacre of Piazza Fontana (1969), ‘mother’ of all the others that followed and left a long trail of blood in our country, Italy: South Freccia Train (1970), Peteano (1972), Milan Police Headquarters ( 1973), Piazza della Loggia, Brescia (1974), Italicus train (1974), Piazzale Arnaldo, Brescia (1976), Bologna station (1980).

The performance within 30 minutes, retraces all those events, including the tragic killing of the anarchist Pino Pinelli; 17 dancers on stage, as many as the victims of Piazza Fontana. A sequence of 10 paintings tells the massacres, through the projection of images of the time: the victims ‘come back to life’ to tell with their bodies – which become moving screens – those dramatic events.

The performance was exhibited at  the Pacta Salone theater and at the Council Hall of Palazzo Marino in Milan.
